ePlay and Vancouver Christmas Market Unveil Augmented Reality Experience
Unique Instagram experience for Vancouver Christmas Market visitors to explore
ePlay Digital Inc. (CSE:EPY | OTC:EPYFF | FSE:2NY2) (the “Company”) today announced a
new partnership that features augmented reality Instagram filters developed by ePlay Digital at
this year’s Vancouver Christmas Market. Tickets to the Market are now available. Users launch
the augmented reality experience by scanning QR codes posted on large on-site sign boards
with a mobile device. Users will explore traditional Christmas stories with advanced 3D that will
automatically launch them into the metaverse. Users take photos and videos to share with
friends.
“We are thrilled to augment the experience of The Vancouver Christmas Market this year with
some high-tech magic,” says Patrick Carnegie, Director - Patron Services at Vancouver
Christmas Market. “Working with ePlay Digital and Instagram to bring holiday-themed 3D
augmented reality to our guests is exciting.”
According to centuries-old tradition, many German towns host Christkindlmarkts in December.
Residents take the opportunity to enjoy each other’s company, sample local delicacies, shop for
gifts, and share holiday cheer. Each year, the Vancouver Christmas Market brings this festive
Old World tradition to Vancouver.
“Vancouver is second only to the Bay Area / Silicon Valley and a recognized leader in the
world’s AR/VR ecosystem,” says Dan Burgar, CEO of Frontier Collective. “The Vancouver
Christmas Market is a favorite local tradition that elevates the visitor experience with augmented
reality developed by a Vancouver company.”
ePlay Digital’s Klocked World Platform delivers immersive, Real-Time 3D (RT3D), and
Augmented Reality (AR) sports and entertainment metaverse experiences.
“We are thrilled to work with such a local high profile event,” says Trevor Doeksen, CEO of
ePlay Digital. “The vision for the augmented reality experience is all thanks to Vancouver
Christmas Market and I’m thrilled we could execute.”
